Shootout: Nokia 9 PureView gets us closer to the beauty of real bokeh

02 March 2019
The Nokia 9 PureView could potentially have the best scene depth-sensing around as our first camera samples show.

    this is the classical number obsession: more ram, more megapixels higher clock speed

    it isn t always better

    and in the case of mobiles, the snapdragon 845 isn t even used at maximum capacity...maybe at 4k 60fps...

      Leave him as Nokia is proving enough that they are the real and old nokia employees which still have some experience left to bring back the old brand on the market.

        People: all phones look the same with same features nowadays.
        Also people: This phone is pure gimmick it doesn't look the same as every other phone.

        Point is this is a limited edition device and it's not made to compete with S10/P30/iphone etc...

          Nokia 9 Pureview needs:

          *SD855
          *Card slot
          *Dedicated camera button

            It dont have better camera it only have better face recognition that it.
            Display is not better curved screens are good for breaks and its not working finger print scanner with screen protector is pure crap.
            Design is complete horrible.
            Bad looking front and back, notch, fragile etc.
            Nokia 9 have maybe a bit weaker CPU but in terms of speed NOkia 9 can run same app as Samsung S10+ in same speeds.

Old Nokia heads created HMD out of passion and they commission Foxconn (same factory from a decade ago) to make their phones with the highest quality possible.

              How many times do I have to teach you old man?

                    The color reproduction of this pineapple image is truly great compare to iPhone. Hope regular and night image would come as great.

                        What about non bokeh shots how does it do for standard and night shots?

                          [deleted post]This Yuri really cares about Nokia. So he really doesnt mind clicking on every single Nokia article and type a comment for it.

                            If it could take three pictures with different exposures using different cameras, it could, potentially, create better dynamic range via software simulations! A man can dream, right? :D

                            I sure hope things improve and this becomes one of the best cameras around. Maybe, just maybe, they'll use 48mp sensors next time and use them to increase image sharpness?

                                It's really amazing for bokeh effect, but overall ....? I don't really feel the image quality anything special.
                                We will see in a propper review.

                                    Foxconn (or it's subsidiary -HMD, as you wish) played too much with totally unnecessary bokeh. But forget again about two things - proper software (10 seconds per shot. Really?) and right price for outdated phone.

                                      On the other there are many many many many compromises now a days that there is simple no excuse for. In design, specs, and features. So many phones could be so much more. Especially at these ridiculous prices.
                                      It took Samsung til the s9 to step up their speaker game when they had it before the s1.
                                      Cameras have been stale the last few years.
                                      800 to 1000 dollar phones are failing in ram compared to 400 dollar phones. Even iPhone caught up to pixel and Sony in ram.
                                      We used to have unique designs, features, cameras, projectors, and all kinds of things.

                                      Now it's all about fragile slabs that compromise all over the board, offer the same features in the same package, and cost as much as full blown computers or a used car. And are holding tech back.
